Look on the Bright Side Day is today. We hope you see the light. Literally looking on the bright side may be a bit difficult today. It is winter solstice, the shortest day of the year. And, December days tend to be cloudy. However, we're going to be optimistic, and fully expect you to succeed.
Look on the Bright Side Day is a day to be optimistic. The term itself is an optimistic one. It calls upon us to look for something positive, out of an otherwise bad or sad situation. Often, a bad experience has positive lessons to be learned.
If you have a bad day yesterday, look on the bright side.... today is another day, and an optimistic one at that!
If you can't see the Bright Side, polish the dull side
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
There is no danger of developing eyestrain from looking on the bright side of things.

I love to watch the sunrise every morning and get a nice view out of my kitchen window and that is what the pictures are of today. Same view, different Morning. Our chances for a white Christmas remain very low but on the bright side there will be more sunlight. Not much but that will accelerate with time. A chart on the news said:
Sunset time
Now 5:00 pm
January 21st 5:30
February 15th 6:00
March 11th 6:30
On the Bright Side, it may be the first day of winter, but slowly the days will be getting longer. Tomorrow starts the trend toward brightening things up again. In that spirit, try to see that your cup half full and try to find the positive on things that may appear negative. Merriam Webster's definition of optimism is: a feeling or belief that good things will happen in the future; a feeling or belief that what you hope for will happen.
So, be optimistic and smile more today. Many times when one door closes, another one opens. And if you truly believe good things are bound to happen, they just may!
I hope you all have a GREAT start to this new week. Happy Monday !

We had snow a little yesterday; but the day before a wonderfully colorful sunrise and sunset :) I'll be glad to get just a bit more light daily :)

Look on the bright side!
You know the young woman from Columbia who had the beauty pageant queen taken away from her? She should look on the bright side, she is still a beauty! AND the attention given to her for the announcer making a mistake could be a blessing in disguise! (Who ever remembers the first runner up, right?)
